Same guy. This time the whole thing is open source though, even the hardware. So that’s insurance for what it’s worth.

They went straight to BEV.

This is not the final design, it might gain a connector in the final. It might not. But even if it doesn’t, splicing the wires shouldn’t be too difficult for most who’d dare open their watch. I’m pretty confident I can do it.

True, but it shouldn’t be a huge deal to clean them up once every few years.

In September, the United Nations Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities reported that at least 21,000 Palestinian children had been disabled in Gaza since October 2023. Earlier this month, the Ministry of Health announced that over 6,000 amputation cases had been registered, with children comprising 25% of the total, making Gaza home to the highest number of child amputees per capita in the world.

I was pretty shocked when the current Ukranian gov’t took the deal where they gave up half of their rare earths to the US for little support.

Yup. A USB 3 box with internal hub, with 4 disks does 600MB/s on a 5Gbps USB 3 port. You’d be limited by the Pi’s ports if they’re not quite 5Gbps, but you’d still move >200MB/s. I recall running 2 USB disks on a Pi 4, each did over 200MB/s so there’s at least that much bandwith on the Pi. That’s 1600Mbps. Typical 1080p is 5-10Mbps. You’re orders of magnitude away from that.

You don’t want hardware raid. Add a powered (by a wall power supply) USB hub. If you want to keep using NVMe drives and mirror them, use ZFS for that. If you’d like to get more storage, get a USB direct attached storage (DAS) box like the ones from Terramaster and stick some disks in it. Those don’t need powered USB hub since they have that built-in. You’d still use ZFS to get your redundancy between disks. Later you can move the box to a different Pi or another computer. Later you can add more disks and expand space if you get a bigger box.

Maybe less. But yeah.

Americans are unlikely to solve anything until their society goes through some dramatic changes.

WTF is this person doing?

Sir, we don’t engage in (industrial) espionage. If we did, it wasn’t us. If it was us, it wasn’t a big deal. If it was a big deal, China engages in espionage. If China engaged in espionage so must we.

Joke aside, everyone can, should and does engage in espionage. It’s the responsible thing to do.

I def used to fall for the algae campaign years ago.

This delay tactic again. They’ll probably bring back algae biofuel next time around.

It’ll probably be great. That’s pretty much giaranteed based on the physics. That said, if you already have a mesh that has good connectivity, an antenna like this would probably just reduce the latency a bit. If you have latency-sensitive applications. I use an HA Yellow with its built-in Zigbee radio. It only reaches 5-10m. Everything after that is connected through the mesh.

Never had it. Z-Wave needs a differrnt antenna and since they’re using full-size antennas for these devices, the Z-Wave one is significantly larger so it’s a separate device.

Got the module some years ago when there were massive shortages. I found a couple CM4s and bought them at the time.

What are you comparing it to?

You’re supposed to set SQM lower than the WAN throughput. I think you’re right that by default it limits it by about 10%. There was some study over a decade ago on this that showed 20-25% limit is best for maximizing responsiveness under load. It’s not possible to effectively schedule packets if there’s no headroom.

I have a few Pi 4 + UE300 routers in operation that work just as well but this is a nice alternative if you have a CM4 lying around.
